What is a VisionCard?VisionCards provide a summary of districtwide indicators of progress on the Strong Schools, Strong Communities (SSSC) strategic plan. They are a key part of an accountability system that keeps us consistently focused on student results and what we will do to improve achievement and equity.

What is in a VisionCard?The six VisionCards are aligned to the SSSC goals: Achievement, Alignment and Sustainability. Achievement and Alignment cards show where we are making progress for our students - and where we are not. The Sustainability card confront the business and operational processes that influence those student outcomes, to direct our resources and actions toward improvement.
